Hoover Dam approaches a hydropower cliff

“We’re going to go to 1,035,” Tom Buschatzke, director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources, said at a meeting in mid-May. “There’s no question that’s going to happen.”


80% reduction in power @ 1035 ft, complete shutdown at 950 ft, Deadpool @ 895 ft.  Besides the power problems, CA agriculture is gonna get hit hard.
